Balboa Island Pumpkin Head
Scarecrows

Sit down with me on a bail of hay, my darling little pumpkin
head scarecrow. Let's share this basket filled with the fruits
of our labor which includes miniature pumpkins and gourds that
we can use to decorate our Balboa Island mansion. Your long,
braided yarn pigtails look especially lovely, tied up with red
checkered cloth. They compliment your beautiful orange
complexion and the red apron covering your cotton plaid shirt
and blue jeans. Did I remember to tell you I love holding your
straw hand? Our life on the island is nearly perfect. This is
truly a paradise.

Above is a great little setting on one of the small grass
lawns that occupy the front of homes overlooking the sand and
sea. Balboa Island actually sits in the Newport Beach bay. The
houses have very small yards, with their houses filling up the
lot. Bayfront homes have private docks, but the share the tiny
strip of beach with visitors, seagulls, and all who care to
stick their feet into the island sands.

Come Halloween, enjoy taking a stroll down Bayfront from
Marine (the Main Street), or from the ferry boat that lets you
off right at Bayfront. Evenings transform into a different
scene as the Halloween displays take on a different glow.
